So what, “intellectual property for the megacorps, not for the end users”? Tfu. I spit on that opinion. If you’re gonna slob robber baron low quarters, at least wipe the polish off your lips before you come talk to us

Ahahahahahahahahahaha damn I’m so happy I retreated back to GIMP and Paint.NET.

Paywalled article; nuke it and move on unless there’s either an archive link or a rehost on somewhere that doesn’t cater to capitalists

It is genuinely funnier than a fuck in a clown car how settlers can only identify prejudice and xenophobia when it’s aimed at them.

Been using the same copy of photoshop for about ten or so years. Definitely not winning any converts by calling people who prioritize their workflow “whiners” either; you sound like another tribal techbro tryna play up console wars but for PCs to me.

Y’know, it’s really the funniest thing how posts keep magically disappearing from this thread with no modlog entry.

Who said ‘mad’? I asked you a question; "do you really think you have any latitude". Can’t say your response surprises me either. I think your privilege absolutely disqualifies you from speaking without immense disclaimer-- which you didn’t provide-- because you people can never be trusted to even properly parse the difference between prejudice and racism in definition, theory, or practice; so why should I trust you to properly define what is and isn’t ‘gentrification’? Especially considering the list of cities you give only gives me even more reason to believe you’ve participated in meatspace gentrification just as eagerly as you preach it over here? Tuhhhhhh.

Fact of the matter is, you and your little redditor weasel friends have done an admirable job at scuzzing the place up in State Department rot and water-bearing for all manner of genociders, war criminals, and merchants of death-- Meta included among at least two of three in that count. Their presence alone on the fediverse spreads that same Five-Eyed rot. That you either can’t perceive, or won’t perceive that, leads me to believe that yes. ‘Gentrification’ is exactly what they’re doing. What you’re doing. Just virtual this time; and if you believe corporate takeover of the digital commons doesn’t count, you’d just be proving my point even more about your lack of standing or right to speak on the subject. They will embrace, extend, and then extinguish the fediverse as we know it, and expect you to pay for what comes after. Enjoy your dystopia, settler. You’re no longer invited to discuss with me; not 'til you’ve done any kind of meaningful self-crit and preferentially some objective learning about the sociological place from which you speak.

I get what you’re trying to say, but also don’t think it’s an appropriate metaphor.

You’re also screamingly White; do you really think you have any latitude, any ground to opine on what is and isn’t gentrification when the odds err closer to 1 that you’ve uncritically participated in this process before?

Y’know, if I had a watch on, I’d be looking at my wrist really condescendingly right about now.

Gross. Keep that settler genocidaire on the Meta side of the fence; if I have to see his shit turn up in my feed I’m gonna get about as ugly to him and his homies as he’s been to the Black population of this country ever since the motherfucker became a senator.

(Are not from an authoritarian country that has shady spying practices and uses slave labour)

So you’re not buying Frameworks, Acers, Hewlett-Packards, or Lenovos then? The NSA codified ‘shady spying practices’ via domestic spying on their own people, and we’ve been using prison slaves since the drafting of the 14th Amendment.

When they have a track record like this?

ZUCK: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard

ZUCK: just ask

ZUCK: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns

FRIEND: what!? how’d you manage that one?

ZUCK: people just submitted it

ZUCK: i don’t know why

ZUCK: they “trust me”

ZUCK: dumb fucks

Ounce of prevention > pound of cure; or in Meta’s case, imperial fucktonne of cure.

A community index of servers added a new rule recently, that requires every participant to defederate from Threads.

What? I stand with the Chinese people against their oppressors. Criticism of an oppressive State is not criticism of its victims.

Said the anglo, eagerly parroting his three-letter-agency masters with his hands on his pearls and a breathless huff to his diction. I have never seen such eager catamites for fuckin genociders in my life; is this what living in Weimar Germany was like?

Either a nonce or a horsefucker, if their streamer-daddy’s any meterstick to measure by

You mean like that time white landowners firebombed Tulsa in response to Black Wall Street’s creation and thriving? Or how about the time a PD in Philadelphia did the same thing to the MOVE Black liberation group some sixty or so years later? This shit keeps happening and the settlers think they have any room or moral high ground to talk shit 💀💀💀💀💀

just as im free to roll my eyes and say that the world deserves a better class of socialist.

Pfft, like you?

Mmmh, delicious; forum snitch knishes
